Simulation lights the future, empowering youth to co-create beyond all boundaries.
Following the successful first International Summer School in 2025, which brought together participants from 13 countries and pioneered cross-cultural simulation education, International Collaborative Innovation Initiative for Digital-Intelligent Simulation — the 2nd ASIASIM International Summer School will launch in summer 2026, inviting young scholars and scientists worldwide to meet in Hangzhou.
#1
Organization Introduction
Asia Simulation Federation, ASIASIM
ASIASIM, initiated by simulation societies from China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia, is an international organization and one of the three major global simulation academic bodies alongside SCS and EUROSIM.
ASIASIM upholds the values of openness, innovation, collaboration, inclusiveness, and mutual benefit. Rooted in Asia with global reach, it is dedicated to advancing the exchange and application of simulation theory and technology. It regularly organizes flagship academic events such as the Global Simulation Conference (GloSim) and Asia Simulation Conference (AsiaSim), building a high-level platform for international exchange. It also supports ongoing calls for papers and academic exchange through the journal International Journal of Modeling, Simulation and Scientific Computing, welcoming scholars and students worldwide to contribute and promote the dissemination and development of simulation research.
